You drop a rock weighing 23.2 g into a graduated cylinder that contains 55 mL. The level
of the water rises to 62 ml. What is the density of the rock?

Respuesta :

Answer:

3.31 g/mL

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

[tex]density = \frac{mass}{volume} \\[/tex]

From the question

mass = 23.2 g

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 62 - 55 = 7 mL

We have

[tex]density = \frac{23.2}{7} \\ = 3.314285[/tex]

We have the final answer as

3.31 g/mL

Hope this helps you
